One thing I found interesting, Bob Riggle has been running all of the Hemi Underglass cars from 1965 to 1975 and has been running the 1968 replica since 1992. He knows they don't corner at speed, yet at the 3 minute mark he jerked he wheel to make a hard left. Wonder why?

HeavyGunner Posted June 27, 2016 Share Posted June 27, 2016 I dunno, maybe he got caught up in the moment with Jay in the car and got to showing off a bit too much or wasn't paying enough attention to his speed because he was distracted? 1 Quote The problems we face today exist because the people who work for a living are outnumbered by the people who vote for a living.The government can only "give" someone what they first take from another.

mrsmackpaul Posted June 28, 2016 Share Posted June 28, 2016 Well I dunno much about it all but I bet Bob is feeling pretty bad and Jay handled it all fairly well I reckon Hope they sort the car out again quick enough and this doesnt knock Bobs confidence to much Paul 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/45812-lenos-wild-ride/#findComment-337724 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timmyb Posted June 28, 2016 Share Posted June 28, 2016 It could of been a lot worse. I was looking at Jays arm near the open window when it was rolling. Could of been a lot of band aids used! 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/45812-lenos-wild-ride/#findComment-337733 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dirtymilkman Posted June 29, 2016 Share Posted June 29, 2016 You'd have to shake my underwear out! I think he wanted to get the car to slide around the corner and it didn't.

Terry T Posted June 29, 2016 Share Posted June 29, 2016 It looks to me that when the rear of the car began bouncing on the uneven pavement that's the point when the front end began to get out of shape & Bob was trying to counter steer & slow the car but he may have possibly been running of of shutdown area as well considering he was losing traction & braking and may have been trying to steer left to give him more room.

That's exactly what it looked like to me, I believe there is a dragstrip right next door to where they were. Why they didn't set Bob up on the dragstrip is a mystery to me. I've never driven a wheelstander, but I've driven drag cars. Bumps and turns on slicks with soft sidewalls are not cool. 2 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/45812-lenos-wild-ride/#findComment-337848 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Posted June 30, 2016 Share Posted June 30, 2016 Do you think that ride may have been a wake up call to the both of those OLD kids?I'm surprised that Jay didn't jump out of the car and say( man lets do that again) and laugh.
